Adria Arjona, who recently starred opposite Glen Powell in the Netflix comedy Hit Man and in Zoe Kravitz’s directorial debut Blink Twice, is reportedly in final talks to star in and executive produce Onslaught, the latest feature project from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard.

According to THR, Arjona will play a mother who falls back on a particular set of skills in order to protect her loved ones after she runs afoul of a threat that has escaped a secret military base.

A24 is behind the action thriller, after winning the package at an auction earlier this year. Details for Onslaught are being kept top secret, but sources have described it as a “gonzo action horror thriller”. The project is expected to begin filming this autumn. Wingard writes the film with Simon Barrett, a frequent collaborator with whom he made the cult hits You’re Next and The Guest.

Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce Onslaught under their Ryder Picture Company banner alongside A24, and Alexander Black for Lyrical Media. Wingard and manager Jeremy Platt will also produce, via their new company Breakaway Civilization, along with Barrett.

Adria Arjona will next be seen in the second season of Disney+’s Star Wars series Andor, which releases in 2025.
